ISDD 2026: Rethinking Sustainable Development for the Global South

The 2026 International Sustainable Development Dialogue (ISDD) is set to convene with a central theme of rethinking sustainable development strategies specifically for the Global South. This significant event aims to bring together a diverse group of participants to address the unique challenges and opportunities present in these regions.

Organized by the Global Affairs and Sustainable Development Institute at Osun State University, the dialogue is a collaborative effort, notably partnered with the Rosa-Luxembourg Stiftung from Germany. This partnership suggests an international scope and a commitment to fostering global cooperation on development issues.

Participants will include a wide array of experts, policymakers, and scholars, all converging to engage in critical discussions. The focus on the Global South indicates a deliberate effort to tailor development paradigms to the specific contexts and needs of these nations, moving beyond one-size-fits-all approaches.
